Hi, all!

Thanks to all of our wonderful supporters, we have had a wonderfully successful campaign so far (y'all have completely blown my expectations out of the water)!

Now that it's been nearly a month since the campaign ended, I wanted to give you all a couple of updates:

1) Pre-orders are open! If you weren't able to back the campaign, you now have a chance to own your own Jay Bird plush or keychain. You can visit the pre-order store by clicking here.

2) Digital Commissions are open! To help with the 17% of backers who have not completed their surveys, I have opened up digital commissions to supply myself with enough funds for shipping. You can check out prices here, and send me an email at [email protected] if you're interested.

3) Make sure your survey is completed! Surveys would have been sent through email and are essential when it comes to ensuring that you receive your item(s). These surveys go over important shipping and payment information, and if not completed: you will not receive your item and will not be refunded. If you're having issues with your survey, please reach out to BackerKit support.

4) Plushies are currently set to be shipped out in late March or early April.

Thank you,
Jay F. Starre

Happy New Year!

Thanks to all of our wonderful backers, we have reached full funding, and now Jay Bird will be in your hands! We even received a surplus, which will be used for production of Jay Bird keychains!

I could not have gotten here without the support of our wonderful online community, my family, and my friends. I want to give a HUGE thanks to Oiyll (VarianVinnyV on Twitter) for her help at the beginning of my idea for the campaign. Oiyll helped so much with the questions I had about getting started, and I couldn't have done this without her! Another huge thanks goes to my mom, who has helped me so much with her experience in the manufacturing industry, and her continued support for my artwork since I was a little kid. Finally, I want to properly thank my community on Twitter, TikTok, Discord, Reddit, and BackerKit who supported me throughout this journey. Even for those that weren't able to back the campaign, your reposts, likes, and follows helped me more than you can imagine. 

I will continue posting updates on Twitter at jaystarrescats, and I cannot wait to see where we go from here!

Thank you,
Jay F. Starre
